Known for playing opposite seasoned actors, Brad Renfro's career
started accidentally. While still in elementary school, Renfro was asked
to participate in a D.A.R.E. public service announcement as part of its
national anti-drug campaign. A policeman noted his talent and told a
casting agent to check him out. A few months later the 10-year old was
cast with Susan Sarandon and Tommy Lee Jones in the
big-screen adaptation of John Grisham's The
Client (1994). After that performance, Renfro was cast in other big
feature films, such as The Cure (1995), Tom & Huck
(1995), Sleepers (1996), and Ghost World (2001).
